THE PEOPLE ARE THE BEER
THE PEOPLE ARE THE BEER
The pillar of the Vizir family brewery is the happy and motivated Vizir team. The foundations of the brewery stand on the values, trust and passion for the oldest drink in the world, beer.
The core of the Vizir team are Maja and Denis, both educated food technologists. We used our knowledge and experience in the field of winemaking to our advantage. In 2008, we set up the first Slovenian craft brewery in Slovenia.
The constant development and implementation of knowledge and experience is what we strive for. Denis, who is also the main brewer and innovator, is the Vizir team’s leading light in this area. Developing new products and playing with flavours are his passion. This, in turn, often leads to unusual and different beers. Even beer with spruce tops or ginger, not to mention beer with potatoes and beans.
In addition to creativity in recipes, Denis is often called MacGyver, because there is no challenge that he cannot solve in a unique and innovative way. He also generously shares his knowledge and experience with his fellow brewers. This is also the reason why we are a proud recipient of a special plaque from the Small Brewers Association.
Because brewing is not possible without female energy, Denis’s better half Maja is the head of the company. She makes sure that everything in the brewery runs smoothly and without problems, and that all their client bars and customers are well stocked with beer. A special challenge and passion for her is to pass on her knowledge in the field of cuisine and beer tasting. This led her to upgrade her knowledge at the Institute of Hops and Brewing in Žalec.
Maja completed the 2nd level as a beer taster, and she intends to improve her knowledge and transfer it into the brewery. Experience beer tastings organised by Pivovarna Vizir with Maja in a different and unique way that will make a big impression on you. Maja is thus officially the first female craft brewer in Slovenia.
Maja and Denis are not alone; they have Peter, production manager and the boy who brews excellent beer for you every day. He makes sure that the tanks are always full of beer and also keeps customers happy with occasional weekend deliveries. He also perfected his practical knowledge with an NVQ course in brewing, for which he received official certification.
Vizir’s team is a small team with great enthusiasm, generosity and energy, looking forward to all the challenges along the way and passionately committed to brewing.
